Post-Live-Blogging Torchwood (Via BBC iPlayer)

  • Why would you watch your dead colleague's (who you either had an affair with or wanted to) autopsy?
  • Stop shouting Jack.
  • Why did you just kick down a church sign? No seriously Jack, you just booted over a church sign.
  • Oh, I see, because there are space aliens living in the church. Right.
  • I thought it was buried under the church, not in a box in the vestry.
  • Ten points to Gwen for pointing out that using the glove is a bad idea.
  • Imagined conversation "Owen! You're going to die in two minutes! Again! We forgot to invite your parents!"
  • Well done, you've killed your number two twice now.
  • Jack, you just scratched your head with the glove of semi-eternal life.
  • Ooh, the glove is ominously moving...
  • Why is everyone so easy with the holding of the non-resurrection glove?
  • Did we ever find out what happened to the weevils?
  • Ooh, toast has popped up.
  • Owen is taking being undead very well.
  • Re: Jack's attempt to be Christ last year, I never saw the episode where he returned, but did he come back to save his people and bring judgement on his enemies?
  • Ooh, Owen just had a "I'm a ghost and fading into another dimension and there is a monster after me". Didn't Spike do this in series 5 of Angel? That's not rhetorical, it was episodes 2-5.
  • Owen needs the toilet?
  • Joss Whedon did it much better.
  • He also had the whole possession thing down better too.
  • HA! He doesn't need the loo!
  • Jack; shouty or mysteriously quiet.
  • Owen can drink Guinness?
  • A weird Japanese advert just set Owen off? Seen that before too.
  • Why is a girl trying to sexually assault Owen in a nightclub?
  • Oh, we found the weevils!
  • HA! He can't drink Guinness!
  • That's more than a pint.
  • Do you think that's air your breathing?
  • Wait, checking CCTV on the undead guy running away from you is a bad thing?
  • Comedy chase up a multi-story carp park.
  • Multi-story or multi-storey?
  • "We should be able to play the translation through the computer speakers." Oh well, isn't that happy.
  • Jack's going to get jealous now there's another Messiah, even if Owen is a weevil Messiah.
  • Let me guess, Jack is going to give Owen 12 lives.
  • No, nuking them from orbit is the only way to be sure. Though cremation would probably also work.
  • Wait, we're going to kill Owen again. Three times in two episodes is better than Jack is managing. This programme must surely have the highest ratio of death / not actually dying.
  • I'm glad Ianto hasn't done anything this episode, I don't really know how to spell his name.
  • Also, freezing him in carbonite would probably work.
  • Now they're ripping off Alien?
  • Jumping off that building Jack likes standing on might work too.
  • Ha! Predictable face-hugger action.
  • Owen's dead again. That should be a website; is Owen dead? YES
  • You might want to avoid the black plague goo stuff too.
  • The reason you die isn't the plague Martha, it's sin.
  • "Ianto, we need answers!" - should have probably asked that sooner shouldn't you Jack.
  • Also, thirteen dead people who were mostly dying anyway? Worst apocalypse ever.
  • "Ianto, I need you to crack into the hospital mainframe" - Wasn't he getting answers?
  • "Is that you under there?" - NO, IT'S DEATH obviously.
  • Death can cut the power! And not in a metaphorical way.
  • So behind you.
  • Oh no, actually in-front of you. Clever boys.
  • Also Death can close the doors! And not in a metaphorical way.
  • Wait, if thirteen die, death can stalk the earth forever? Uh, I think there is something wrong with that statement in regard to what death was doing before he's killed thirteen people.
  • "People who believe can beat death?" Er. Uh. No. No you can't.
  • iPlayer crash!
  • Uh, so Death can't walk through locked doors?
  • Ianto has provided no answers. Poor Ianto.
  • "You can never really beat death" FINALLY, some sense.

Post - review - review:

Silly nonsensical action, followed by far too speedy unresolution, made worse by the fact that somehow every believe avoiding death was possible. You cannot avoid death members of Torchwood. Death is a curse on all mankind.

Caveats and the such

A few lines need to be said here. I'm currently a youth worker, therefore I have to watch how I interact with young people.
